    Default What I am working on AND EXPANDING (for you high tekies)


    I have my waypoint follower working. This is where I make a route from waypoints and follow the route using the route outputs from the (any) gps with NMEA 0183 out capability. I am expanding the function capability of my interface to include a minimum speed to engage and a minimum distant to waypoint to engage the my homegrown autopilot. I sure enjoy this stuff.


    Functional code that looks for waypoint heading, actual heading, sog, and range to target.. This is what I do to exercise my neurons.


    loop1:
    DEBUG "loop1", CR,CR

    'Set GPS unit to standard NMEA outupt with a baud rate of 4800

    'Put data in RAM from GPS, it is the current true heading

    SERIN 0, 16884, [WAIT("GPRMC,"),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT( ","),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),DEC tru]

    'Put data in RAM from GPS, it is current waypoint heading

    SERIN 0, 16884, [WAIT("GPRMB,"),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT( ","),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT(","),WAIT( ","),DEC range1,DEC range2, DEC wpt]

    DEBUG "true heading", CR
    DEBUG DEC tru, CR, CR
    DEBUG "waypoint", CR
    DEBUG DEC wpt, CR, CR
    DEBUG " SOG speed1", CR
    DEBUG DEC speed1, CR, CR
    DEBUG " SOG speed2", CR
    DEBUG DEC speed2, CR, CR
    ' DEBUG "range1", CR
    ' DEBUG DEC range1, CR, CR
    ' DEBUG "range2", CR
    ' DEBUG DEC range2, CR
    DEBUG "error", CR
    DEBUG DEC error,CR

    speed_test: 'go faster than .4 knots to engage autopilot steering

    IF speed1 => Y THEN loop2
    'else
    IF speed2 => Z THEN loop2
    'else
    FREQOUT 12, 50, 1000 'beep the alarm speed too low


    What ya think?

    Microsecond waits don't take long. Skipping crap I don't need and waiting on stuff I need. Story of my life.
